Stimulating social entrepreneurship: can support from cities make a difference?
This research brief examines the role of governmental support in fostering social entrepreneurship within U.S. cities. Korosec and Berman (2006) analyze survey and interview data from 202 city managers, identifying three key forms of assistance: resource acquisition, coordination & implementation, and public awareness. Findings reveal that cities providing such support experience higher levels and quality of initiatives addressing issues like illiteracy and environmental protection. While not a strict prerequisite, governmental involvement significantly amplifies social entrepreneurship’s impact, particularly amid federal cutbacks that force cities to seek alternative solutions. The study highlights the dual benefit of these initiatives: solving pressing social problems while potentially spurring job creation. However, questions remain about which support mechanisms (e.g., funding vs. networking) are most effective—a direction for future research. These insights underscore the transformative potential of city-level policies in driving community development through entrepreneurial innovation..Printed Journal
